The 80/20 Rule of Information Security

The Pareto Principle, often called "The 80/20 Rule", means that in anything, the few (20 percent) is usually responsible for the many (80 percent). This principle was first applied to the issue of wealth, where 80 percent of wealth was owned by 20 percent of the people. Here at 80/20 Labs we have applied this principle to the information security arena.
